95 mins - Italy / France 1973 Director: Paul Morrissey Starring: Udo Kier, Joe Dallesandro and Monique van Vooren In this interpretation of the Mary Shelley story, Baron von Frankenstein (Udo Kier) is on a mission to create two perfect creatures from various body parts who will mate and produce a new master race. Following the success in Europe of FLESH, TRASH and HEAT, director Paul Morrissey was invited to Italy to make FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN, which the original cinema trailer proclaimed to be “the goriest, sexist and wildest Frankenstein ever filmed”. This movie may be over 50 years old, but it has lost none of its power to shock and amuse audiences with its bloody effect and dark sense of humour. FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN and BLOOD FOR DRACULA are being screened as a tribute to filmmaker Paul Morrissey, who passed away 28 October 2024. “Bursting with camp entertainment, delightful gore gags…perverse and darkly comedic.” Bloody Disgusting
